ATAwrights: The American Theatre of Actors Playwrights' Festival will present two short plays in their world premieres: The North Forty written & directed by ATA founder and member of the original Off-Off Broadway Movement, James Jennings, featuring James Gavin, Amy Losi, and Jonathan Power. A disgruntled man from middle America rages about Russia and Ukraine. The appearance of his grandson creates a very unique "roadtrip." This play is dedicated to the courageous people of Ukraine. Wild Duck in Little Neck - loosely based on Ibsen's Wild Duck.- written and Directed by Meny Bariro, featuring Robert Crafford and Gordon Rothman. This contemporary retelling concerns a do-gooder who attempts to change his friend's life - by destroying everything his friend holds dear!
